The Message of The Cemetery

 
Gloomy and deserted by living humans
At this sacred ground of the non-living
I stand alone pensive in thoughts
Pondering of the fate that awaits me and all mortals,
The road to the otherworld leading to where I know not;
Tombstones, here and there, speaking of their tenants
Eulogizing the greatness of fallen mortals
Crushed to the dust by the reaper of souls.
Once living, now permanent residents at the graveyard
Morsels consumed to satisfaction by the living earth
Hungering for more to fill her churning stomach;
Graves full of human bones speaking in silence:
"The final consummation of human existence awaiting me."
My head droops in silence as reality speaks the path
I must take to return to the source.
